Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in community settings using the Development and Well-Being Assessment: validation in a UK population-based twin sample / Fiona S. MCEWEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 57-2 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 57-2 (February 2016) . - p.161-170 Titre : Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in community settings using the Development and Well-Being Assessment: validation in a UK population-based twin sample Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Fiona S.

STEWART, Auteur ; Emma COLVERT, Auteur ; Emma WOODHOUSE, Auteur ; Sarah CURRAN, Auteur ; Nicola GILLAN, Auteur ; Victoria HALLETT, Auteur ; Stephanie LIETZ, Auteur ; Tracy GARNETT, Auteur ; Angelica RONALD, Auteur ; Declan MURPHY, Auteur ; Francesca HAPPE, Auteur ; Patrick BOLTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.161-170 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  adolescence  assessment  diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Increasing numbers of people are being referred for the assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The NICE (UK) and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend gathering a developmental history using a tool that operationalises ICD/DSM criteria. However, the best-established diagnostic interview instruments are time consuming, costly and rarely used outside national specialist centres. What is needed is a brief, cost-effective measure validated in community settings. We tested the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) for diagnosing ASD in a sample of children/adolescents representative of those presenting in community mental health settings. Methods A general population sample of twins (TEDS) was screened and 276 adolescents were selected as at low (CAST score < 12; n = 164) or high risk for ASD (CAST score ? 15 and/or parent reported that ASD suspected/previously diagnosed; n = 112). Parents completed the ASD module of the DAWBA interview by telephone or online. Families were visited at home: the ADI-R and autism diagnostic observation schedule (ADOS) were completed to allow a best-estimate research diagnosis of ASD to be made. Results Development and Well-Being Assessment ASD symptom scores correlated highly with ADI-R algorithm scores (? = .82, p < .001). Good sensitivity (0.88) and specificity (0.85) were achieved using DAWBA computerised algorithms. Clinician review of responses to DAWBA questions minimally changed sensitivity (0.86) and specificity (0.87). Positive (0.82–0.95) and negative (0.90) predictive values were high. Eighty-six per cent of children were correctly classified. Performance was improved by using it in conjunction with the ADOS. Conclusions The DAWBA is a brief structured interview that showed good sensitivity and specificity in this general population sample. It requires little training, is easy to administer (online or by interview) and diagnosis is aided by an algorithm. It holds promise as a tool for assisting with assessment in community settings and may help services implement the recommendations made by NICE and the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding diagnosis of young people on the autism spectrum.

Editorial: Are government early years learning and development frameworks evidence-based? A scientist's perspective / Angelica RONALD in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 65-5 (May 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 65-5 (May 2024) . - p.591-593 Titre : Editorial: Are government early years learning and development frameworks evidence-based? A scientist's perspective Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Angelica RONALD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.591-593 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Not all young children attend nurseries, childminders or other group settings before they start school, but many do. It is common for countries to set out a framework to guide practice for early years providers (such as nurseries) to follow. The conundrum regarding these frameworks for young children is that proving evidence of a causal link between early environments and later outcomes is very challenging scientifically. So how do governments choose what learning and development practices and goals to make mandatory for childcare providers? And is it realistic to expect early years providers to meet the legal requirements that these frameworks impose? We do not know which learning and development practices impact positively on later outcomes, and we certainly do not know if there is a one-size-fits-all approach for an early years framework that is guaranteed to work.

Editorial: Beyond the usual suspects - broadening the scope of environmental influences in child and adolescent mental health research / Angelica RONALD in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-5 (May 2025)

These same factors are also often prioritised in child and adolescent mental health research. More distal factors receive less attention, such as the air we breathe, the materials in our built environment, and the cultural and social norms of the societies in which we live. These factors are embedded in the very structure of our built and social environments, but may be harder to 'imagine' as being important, perhaps because they feel less tangible. Findings in this issue of the journal highlight the relevance of these factors for child and adolescent mental health. This editorial will reflect on the importance of these findings and then turn to consider how physical and sociocultural factors can be better integrated in research on child and adolescent mental health, by incorporating novel data sources, diversifying samples and by capturing multiple levels of analysis.

They are based on current knowledge of the trait's genetic architecture and focus on common genetic variants. In this editorial, I will discuss some of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) to polygenic scores within the context of child and adolescent psychiatry. I consider how the potential application of polygenic scores in health settings has some parallels with existing practices, but that polygenic scores also undoubtedly raise unique challenges. This SWOT analysis is accompanied by discussion of some new findings using polygenic scores in this issue of Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
